The bag is beautiful, i would buy again but i have rated this 3 because delivery was 12 days yet on the website it says 2 to 9 days, that was very inconvenient

The bag is beautiful but the delivery took almost 2weeks. I would highly recommend but please do something about delivery time frame

Overall, I am satisfied with the Charles & Keith brand. I ordered a bag because I liked its design and size. However, as it is a crossbody bag, the strap was too short for comfortable use. I had to... See more

I’ve been shopping at Charles and Keith…
I’ve been shopping at Charles and Keith for some time, mostly bags. In January I bought a pair of sandals for my upcoming holiday.
On my holiday I took the sandals with me and well… first time wearing them I got few blisters , which I expected as they were new. On maybe the 3rd day the leather label on the insole unglued. Now they are unwearable. I sent pictures to Charles and Keith and they said that’s normal wear and tear and their shoes are not made for beach. Maybe skip them if you want to wear their stuff outside of pavement.

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your review and feedback.
We sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience with your sandals during your holiday. We understand that while you expected a few initial blisters, having the leather label on the insole unglue by the 3rd day is unacceptable, making them unwearable.
We are especially sorry for the response you received after sending pictures, and we regret that our previous assessment of "normal wear and tear" did not meet your expectations. We understand your frustration regarding our advice on beach use and your feeling that our products may be limited to pavement wear. We take your feedback seriously as we strive to ensure our footwear is both stylish and durable for various environments.
Do reach out to us at customers@charleskeith.com for assistance if you require more help.
Have a wonderful day ahead!
Warmest regards,
CHARLES & KEITH TEAM
Still waiting for my return
Took ages to arrive, I changed my mind about the shoes and returned the parcel, I have been waiting three months for my return, I have provided them with proof of purchase, which they confirmed they had received, however are now saying it’s the wrong proof of returns and I am still waiting for my refund, which they won’t progress. Their returns tracking portal also doesn’t work.

Do not buy! Poor quality bag and terrible customer service!
Do not buy, poor quality product and terrible customer service!
My mum bought the Ivette Woven Shoulder Bag as a Christmas gift for me in the Black Friday sale. When I came to use the bag a couple of days after Christmas I noticed that some of the PU had come away. I emailed a photo and asked for a replacement for the faulty bag. I was told they would not replace it as it was over 30 days, despite it being a Christmas gift I had only just recieved. I asked to raise a formal complaint and then they agreed to a refund. However, I had to provide picures of a cut in the bag and it in the bin before they would send a refund. I sent these photos 3 weeks ago and have had no response from the company! Appauling customer service! I now have no bag and no money.
I originally offered to return the bag assuming they could repair or recycle it, cutting it up and throwing it away seems very wasteful.

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your review and feedback.
We sincerely apologize for the distressing experience you have had with your Ivette Woven Shoulder Bag and our customer service. We understand that this was a Christmas gift purchased during the Black Friday sale, and it is disappointing to hear that the PU material had come away after only a couple of days of use.
We deeply regret the initial refusal to replace the faulty bag due to our 30-day policy, especially given the circumstances of it being a holiday gift. Furthermore, we apologize for the frustration caused by our requirement for you to provide pictures of the bag cut up and in the bin before a refund could be processed. We acknowledge your concern that this practice feels wasteful, particularly as you had offered to return it for repair or recycling.
It is truly concerning that you sent these photos 3 weeks ago and have had no response, leaving you with no bag and no money. We agree that this level of service is unacceptable and falls short of the transparency and support we aim to provide.

I had a very disappointing experience with Charles & Keith.
The staff behavior was unprofessional and lacked basic customer service skills. They were unable to properly handle my concern or provide a satisfactory solution. Additionally, I was disappointed with the quality of the bag, which did not meet my expectations.
When I requested an exchange, it was initially refused. I was then advised to obtain email confirmation from customer care. After receiving the approval email from customer care, the store staff still declined the exchange request. Ms. Mansi stated that they could not break the policy, even though she had previously asked me to obtain confirmation via email.
This inconsistency and lack of coordination caused unnecessary inconvenience. Overall, it was a very frustrating and unpleasant experience.

I’m a loyal customer of many years and…
I’m a loyal customer of many years and have purchased bags, shoes and sunglasses not just for me but for my daughter and grand daughters and have always been happy.
I purchased a pair of shoes online on the 9th October 2025 and after wearing them 3 times (probably around 15 hours in total) they are already falling apart.
On the 12th Feb I sent a email and photos through to customer care and they are saying it’s wear and tear which is absolute rubbish, they are faulty.
Many emails have gone back and forth with no resolution only offering free postage on another pair if I so wished to pay.
This has happened to one shoe only, the other one is perfect. If it was wear and tear they both would be the same.
I am very careful with everything I have and pride myself in that.
I’m so disappointed as the customer care here is zero.
A good and loyal customer gone now over a pair of $89 shoes (with $12 for shipping) They would have cost Charles and Keith a fraction of that…
Not good enough….

Very disappointed
I bought a bag I really wanted from their website. A black "leather" bag with some gold details. I used it a few times (no more than 4), I didn't put much in it because I noticed it was very delicate, I stored it in its dust bag to avoid scratches and more. After the last use, I saw the leather started coming off from the bag's corner. I contacted their customer service, and it seems like they only accept items that are faulty upon arrival. For them, it's normal for a bag start coming apart after 4 times you use it. I wasn't expecting a full refund but at least an exchange or another type of support. So sad, I thought I had bought from a serious brand. Well, better knowing this now than after buying another bag I wanted.

Very poor customer service!
My parcel gone missing and the fact that Royal Mail accepted to re-route as pick up to the nearest Post office but still delivered in my address. You did not do something about it from Jan 8 until now. Asking me to provide CCTV or Police report which I don’t have as I told few times in the email. So if I cannot provide their email saying they will not do any compensation until I provide Police report/CCTV. Very annoying and poor customer service!

My parcel never got delivered.
Company uses Royal Mail for delivery and I had a very bad experience. I ordered my bag on 30th December and waited 10 days for Royal Mail to attempt delivery. But still never received my package. Customer service is also of no help.

Hi Myesha,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and would like to clarify the situation for transparency.
Your order was dispatched on time and handed over to Royal Mail for delivery. As advised, once delivery delays were identified, our team raised a redelivery request with the courier on your behalf and is currently awaiting their response. This process is handled directly by the courier and requires their confirmation before further action can be taken.
Please note that delivery timelines are dependent on the courier, and while we actively assist by liaising with them, we do not control their delivery attempts. Our customer service team has been in contact and is continuing to follow up to resolve this as quickly as possible.
We appreciate your patience while this is being addressed and will provide an update as soon as we receive confirmation from Royal Mail.

Good product, poor service
I purchased the shoes for an event, website stated 5 to 9 days delivery time however the shoes did not arrive for 13 days. I was undecided about returning them, style was lovely but the fastening holes were difficult because they hadn’t been pierced sufficiently.

I will forever love Charles & Kieth…
I will forever love Charles & Kieth bags! The bags are so versatile & so classy and elegant. I bought several bags recently and all are works of art! My current favourite is the XL Calla tote bag in the dark brown colour, which I have been using everywhere (I mean everywhere)! It's so versatile with its changing shape that I can wear it day-to-day on the go, or even to travel, out for lunch, running errands, when shopping, going to work- you name it.
